Description

We believe that sign language encourages early communication and that music enriches our lives. We offer 30 minutes of practising a wide range of baby signs for everyday words & phases through easy sing-along fun to favourite nursery rhymes & action songs. & 30 minutes of playtime with a variety of toys, with coffee, chocolate biscuits & social time for the parents.

We now have the Tinytalk Toddlers Calss a new fun packed language development class to encourage your child to continue with the action songs, learn brand new topics, we have parachute weeks, strechy Lycra weeks and also lots of the toddlers will be talking and we encourage this before we learn the signs.

I attended Glenfield with my toddler and we both loved it! My little one gained confidence and the group was so welcoming. Heather is so positive and engaging, I have made friends for life. If my daughter wasn't at playschool we would still be there.

My son and I have been attending Heathers class since he was ten weeks old. He is now nearly a year and still loves going. He is such a confident little boy and enjoys all the signing, singing and animation. All the children love Heather and she is a wealth of knowledge to the parents too. I would recommend Tiny Talk to all Mums and Dads who are looking for a laid back, fun, interactive and educational class for their little one.

I have just taken my little one to our first TinyTalk Toddler class. We both had a lovely time.
A perfect mix of signing, singing and social time.
Heather makes everyone feel so relaxed and welcome.
A lovely, friendly group.

And we will miss you two. It is a great class. Our daughter loves it, every week she becomes more animated throughout the class. We will definitely continue going.

I have been taking my 11month old son to tinytalk at Birstal, for the past four months. I am very sad that we went to our last class last week, due to my returning to work. My son really enjoyed the singing and signing, getting quite exited at times.
It is a really fun and welcoming group, Heather is lovely and always positive and pleased to see you. The other parents and babies are also very friendly and sociable, I will miss the coffee and chat at the end.
I would strongly recomend this class to everyone interested. I wish we could carry on attending.

I have been attending the abbey pumping station class since my baby was 8 weeks old. It's the only place i can take her where she doesn't cry! I took this to be a good sign and have continued to attend the class (she is now 5 months old) and her enjoyment has grown as she has. Heather is passionate about the songs and the signs that go with them, & is very accomodating to everyone's needs- mine's the cup of tea and the biscuit at the end of all that singing!!
The venue is a little tucked away down corporation road so i feel not many people are aware it's there- but the room is large so there's plenty of room for more people to come along and enjoy- the more of us there are the more everyone else can drown out my singing!
Heather's class is by far the most economical out of the ones available, and the good news is that if you cannot attend for any reason then your week simply rolls on to the next one, which many other classes do not do either.
Come along or contact Heather for more information

Just wanted to say that I have been attending Tiny Talk signing classes now for 14 months(my son is 16 months). I can't recommend them enough. I recently had a development check with the health visitor for my son and have been told that his speech, vocab and general communication skills are advanced for his age. I feel Baby signing has been a huge contributory factor in this. I have recently starting attending the action deafness Tiny talk session on a Thurs afternoon. The venue is perfect, very accessible, baby changing facilities are fab and the hall is specious. The staff are lovely and Heather the teacher is as ever so very welcoming. Heather's passion for the subject is evident in her continuous support and encouragement to all parents and their children.

I went to a taster class at the abbey pumping station with my little one who was only 2ish months old then and my partner to see what it was like.
I felt the teacher was very welcoming but the class was slightly disorganised and distracted by the teachers young boy that she had with her who was a small bit disruptive to us and the class.
He meant well im sure but he was running around and screaming and also flinging stuffed toys at my little one and partner who were sitting on the floor and then grabbing toys off of other little ones.
I have no problem with the teachers of the classes having thier children there as well but i feel that they should be able to be looked after without disrupting the class.
Because of these reasons me and my partner decided against this paticular class but are hoping to try another class with another group in the near future.

Last week was a very interesting week for me as a Teacher, There were 3 new families and two familes had Deaf parents. The Action Deafness Centre providied a Interpretor for these parents, The children really enjoyed the session and one little girl told me she did not want to go home. There was a mixture last week and it felt really good and a community forming of hearing parents with hearing babies, Deaf Parents with Hearing babies and one Deaf baby, and Hearing Parents with a very Hard of hearing baby.
The mums who come term after term love this class as they want to learn even more sign's. It is great as there are so many variations though I will always teach via our BSL signs chosen by Katie Mayne if a child sign's their way at home it is best to keep with the consistency. Oh I love that class.

I have been attending TinyTalk classes since early Oct and just want to say how fantastic they are and how welcoming and supportive Heather is who runs the class. My little boy was 10 weeks old when we started, many classes that I have contacted would not cater for a child so young, however at TinyTalk we were welcomed with open arms.

I visited a taster session at Netherhall Neighbourhood Centre, LOVED IT!! It was very calm relaxing and friendly. Most importantly my son loved it! The amazing thing was that he remembered most of the signs for that day. I was very impressed. Heather's class was fun and entertaining. She has a very good voice (I would not like to listen to a scratched record!). My little one has excelled with his communication and seems to be able to explain things better, since he is a late talker. The thing is that we are enjoying it very much and have decided to join the Abbey Pumping Station class as well! Oh ya, the refreshments are refreshing and unlimited.

I went along to the signing group at Abbey Pumping station. The leader was very welcoming and the class was really enjoyable. My 7 month old son also had a great time as well as his gran whom i dragged along with us. I would definitely reccomend this group. She even makes a fab cup of tea!!!!!!! I will definitely be going back. See you there!
